Cooper Hill Pinot noir 2010

Light and airy, with a welcome transparency to the raspberry and cherry flavors, hinting at tobacco and mineral as the finish lingers delicately. Drink now through 2013. 3,000 cases made. - H.S.

Cooper Mountain Vineyards is the first winery in the Pacific Northwest to produce all of its wines from 100% certified organic and Biodynamic estate grown grapes. This Pinot noir is medium bodied, with lovely red cherry and spice flavors and a smooth finish. Hints of toasted coffee bean in the nose are most appealing.
